To all whom. fit/may concern:

Be it knownl that I, GEORGE H. BOYOE, of Attleborough, in the State ot' Massachusetts, have invented au' Improved Manufacture for Jewelry, of which the following is a specification.

' My invention isanimprovement in the spirallylwound exible material heretofore employed in the manufacture of bracelets, necklaces, `Ste.; and it consists in rst forming up the ma- O teria] fronitwo iia-nged strips of stock, Wound as usual around amandrel ofthe proper form, and then passing it, when placed upon a l1ard ene'd steel mandrel, between suitable rolls, whereby the stock will be cond'ensedand the corners be brought upsharp and clear, thus producing an effect highly desirable in .various kinds of jewelry.`

Fig. 3 is a perspective View ofthe lian ged strip from which my improved manufacture is made. Fig. 4 is 4an end View of the original coil. Fig. 5 is an end View of the same after being rolled.

u In the draWiugs,`A/, Fig: 3, is a sample of the original strip of stock, one strip, B, of

which is rst Wound around a mandrel, C, and

D are brought up sharp and clear, and any de` sired indentation or ornamentation may be rolled in at the same time;

Bymy improvement the manufacture 'is made stronger and much more desirable in appearance for many purposes.
